The Great Preseason Thread

Exactly how it should be. 3 friendlies this week alone.

No idea how we've not scored here. Even in the first half we played fairly well but we've been camped in their 18 yard box most of the last half hour.

Liverpool just denied the most blatant pen ever!

Nah, Salah dived.

I'm not sure if this is some random joke or not. The challenge was on Diaz. The Salzburg defender got the slightest of touches on the ball but wiped Diaz out.

Pretty sure it was a joke. Really daft decision, about as clear a pen you'll see.

I'm not watching the game. I was fishing.

You'd appreciate this then.

This has to be against some sort of rule, please

We lost against Brentford in a behind closed doors friendly. However, it was a very weak reserve lineup.

As was ours!

We got smashed 4-0 by Wolfsburg last weekend, but I was quietly pleased with us beating both Brighton and Arsenal this week... then I saw that we'd essentially played the reserves!

This is not the time nor the plaice.

Jeez, how high do Atletico Madrid want to press. Going to a good test for Man Utd this match.

fez · 30 Jul 2022 at 12:57

Well that was nasty on Lindelof. Should have been a card.

Such a scummy bunch, even in a friendly.

Droolinggimp · 30 Jul 2022 at 13:00

Malacia is pinging them balls. Whilst AM play like AM. Dirty *****. It's a bloody friendly for gods sake.

18mins, Arsenal 4 - 0 Sevilla

Amazing what a quick bit of passing does eh. Turns out its much harder to defend when you're making runs and not giving them time to set up and block off all your passes.

Fancy a little pre-season prediction. Go full @adam cool dude ?

Feels like Elanga isn't technically ready for the type of football EtH wants to play. Was fine for the more basic football we played last season but doesn't have a good enough first touch or close control.

I would, but we don't have Solskjaer as manager.
